Know before you buy
The bag uses cut-to-fit straps, making it highly adaptable to almost any frame geometry. You can mount it on the top tube near the stem or even at the seat post depending on your preference.
The bag is constructed from water-resistant fabric and features covered, weather-proof zippers to protect your gear. While it will keep your items dry during typical rides and light rain, it is not fully submersible.
It features a rigid bottom and padded sides, which help the bag maintain its shape and stay upright even when it isn't fully packed. This structure ensures it remains stable in the center of your cockpit.
The 65 cubic inch capacity is spacious enough for daily essentials like a large smartphone, a wallet, keys, and several energy bars or gels. The additional side pocket is perfect for smaller, flatter items you need to grab quickly.
At 2.5 inches wide, the bag is designed to be slim enough to avoid interference for most riders. However, if you have a very narrow pedaling stance, you may occasionally brush against it depending on how you position it on the top tube.
